TV viewers call Miley Cyrus "disturbing," "garbage" ...

The FCC is investigating Miley Cyrus over indecency

NBC might be regretting its decision to air its Fourth of July weekend special, Miley Cyrus: Bangerz Tour.

Although the show drew more than 2 million viewers, it also drew a handful of complaints. And apparently, those three complaints were enough to prompt the Federal Communications Commission to investigate and determine whether Cyrus' show violated its rules against profanity and indecency, The Hollywood Reporter reports.

Rolling Stone reported on Wednesday that the FCC confirmed it had received complaints and was deciding whether to take further action.

Cyrus, who got her start as the Disney Channel's Hannah Montana, has shed her squeaky-clean Disney image with incidents ranging from a topless photo posted on Instagram to a rumored drug overdose, which she denied happened. She was up to her usual antics during the July 6 TV special, shot in Barcelona, Spain, and Lisbon, Portugal, earlier this year — suggestive dances, sexy outfits and not-so-kid-friendly language. Her sexy dance with a man dressed as Abraham Lincoln is the subject of one of the complaints.

"She was dressed more in line with a video geared towards MTV," it read. "Her performance was impropriate [sic] for broadcast TV, as she grinded along there was a costumed performer depicting President Lincoln following behind her and alongside her and the character acted quite lecherous even patting her on the backside. Very patriotic for the 4th ya think?"

And viewers found plenty more to take issue with during Cyrus' show that was rated PG-13/TV-14.

"I am offended, appalled and ready to start taking public action to remove this garbage from our televisions," one wrote.

Another complained, "Very graphic and disturbing for a Sunday evening 9 pm summertime broadcast."

The Hollywood Reporter said a spokesperson for NBC declined to say anything about the show, and Cyrus' reps didn't respond to requests for comment.

Brooklyn Beckham and Chloe Grace Moretz: Dating!

Prepare to feel old: Hit Girl from Kick-Ass and Posh Spice's son are all grown up. Okay, so they're in their teens, but still - reports that Chloe Grace Moretz and Brooklyn Beckham are dating made us want to crank up the Matlock and kick some kids off our lawns. Chloe is 17 and Brooklyn (the younger man) is 15, but not only are these two reportedly a full-blown couple, they're so LA that they make Kim Kardashian look like some rube from Anaheim. Chloe and Brooklyn met at a SoulCycle class and she's invited him as her date to the premiere of her new movie, If I Stay . We're sure they're sipping macchiattos and reading Variety together as we speak. No word on how Brooklyn's A-list parents feel about the relationship, but we'd imagine it was a little awkward for Chloe to meet the folks, considering that - like the rest of the world - she's probably seen David Beckham in his underwear. Thought it's still early in their re

Is Jennette McCurdy on her way to becoming the next most controversial teen celeb?

Jennette McCurdy knows what her assets are and she is not afraid of showing them off. The Sam & Cat actress has posted a half-naked photo of herself on social media, but this time, her risqué photos making it to the public sphere was her choice. McCurdy is a talented actress and obviously so much more than just her physical appearance, but she seems to understand not all of her fans are the Nickelodeon crowd. So are the photos going too far, especially for an actress with a young fan base? Miley Cyrus has gone through the same thing. As an actress who got her start on Disney, her overtly-sexual attitude has worried some parents — as well as fellow role models. McCurdy took to Reddit on Thursday, posting a blog called "I am not a role model." "With the growing I've done, I realize that to attempt to live up to the idea of being a role model is to set myself up for foregone failure," she wrote. "Sure, I've made some mistakes,
